Hi list,

I'm still seeing lots of lockups with my r300 (Radeon 9700Pro) with current drm/mesa/xf86-video-ati cvs. I think I found a reproducable lockup. It happens when I use Wings3d[1] (a free modeller). Wings has a grid for orientation when I move around the camera it works fine. But as soon as the grid hits the borders of the window, my system locks up. I'm not 100% sure so if anyone else can reproduce this it would be great.

As long as it gets solved by initializing the card with fglrx, I don't see any 
point in investigating.

At the risk of becoming quite unpopular around here, I have to question that reasoning. Saying that there's no point in investigating this bug due to previous failed attempts to track it down and a lack of documentation from ATI is one thing. However, it essentially sounds like you're saying "Why investigate a known bug in our drivers if there's an ugly hack involving binary only drivers that works around the bug?" What will you tell a user for whom fglrx is not an option?

Adam
